Resume checker for registered nurses
Nursing resumes are screened on credentials first. If the license, the certifications, and the EHR name are not in the parsed text, nothing else in the file matters.
What registered nurses get screened on
01Hospital systems usually filter on license, certifications, unit type, and EHR product. All four are short literal strings, and credentials placed in a footer are the most common thing this checker finds missing.
- BLS / ACLSA Certifications heading in the body, with the issuing body
- RN licenseCertifications block or the contact line, spelled out
- Epic / CernerExperience bullet under charting, plus the skills line
- HIPAASkills line; it is a floor requirement, not a highlight
- Patient careSummary line, then patient-load detail in the first bullet
- TriageExperience bullet only if you actually triaged
- Medication administrationExperience bullet with the unit and patient load
- IV therapy / wound careExperience bullet, one each
- Discharge planningExperience bullet with the number of patients
- ChartingExperience bullet, next to the EHR product name
- Patient educationExperience bullet naming the topic
Two bullets, before and after
02Each rewrite reuses only the figures already in the original line. Nothing here invents a number you would have to defend in an interview.
Responsible for patient education on anticoagulant therapy.
Taught anticoagulant therapy to 12 discharged patients per week, with a written teach-back check.
“Responsible for” describes a duty. The rewrite makes the teaching and its verification visible.
Worked on a 32-bed medical-surgical unit.
Cared for 5–6 medical-surgical patients per shift, including medication administration and wound care.
Unit size is context; patient load and skills are the evidence. Say both, but lead with the second.
Where these resumes break
03- —License numbers and certifications in the footer are often dropped before the body is parsed. Put them under a Certifications heading in the body.
- —“Documented in Epic” does not contain the word “charting”. The coverage check is a string match, so name the task and the system.
- —Shift schedules or unit layouts pasted as tables extract cell by cell, which can scatter the timeline of your experience.
A sample, scored
04A made-up six-year med-surg nurse. The layout is clean, so the score reflects clinical keyword coverage and bullet quality — not a template problem.
This sample was written for this page, not scraped from a real candidate. The score is computed by the same rules your file would run through, so it moves whenever the rules change — which is why it is not a hard-coded number.
